【The Six Types of Suffering 希求解脱】The fault of casting off bodies repeatedly 数数舍身过患

【The Six Types OF Suffering】- The fault of casting off bodies repeatedly  

【(iii) The fault of casting off bodies repeatedly  
The Friendly Letter:
Each of us has left a pile of bones  
That would dwarf Mount Meru. [224]  
For each living being, if the bones discarded upon taking
up new bodies did not disappear, they would tower over
even Mount Meru.】

And our fault of casting off bodies. We would cast off bodies and take up new ones. The bodies that we have casted off, the bones, not to mention the bones, even our ashes would tower over Mount Meru. Ah! We have no idea how many bodies we have taken up. That is, if we think about this truly, we have done this too many times. But what is the result! We remain still in the same place, still in the same place, and this will continue (to happen). Therefore, it said earlier that our minds are really like diamonds, nothing can affect it. Even after the Buddha has explained the severity of this, we are actually not at all affected. Ah! We should act the opposite. It would be best for us to be like this, as it will be told later: we should be as soft as tofu, soft like cotton. Then we will be more or less correct. Then we become immediately affected for any small thing. This is why the sutra has explained to us that the reaction of a real fine horse when it sees the shadow of a leash - a real fine horse start running when it sees the shadow of a leash. That is how we should be. Any small little thing should instantly trigger us to strive.  [If that is the case,] then there will be hope for our life.

希求解脱 : 数数舍身过患

【数数舍身过患者。如云：“一一身体诸骨聚，超过几多须弥峰。”谓一一有情受身之骨，若不烂坏，多于须弥。】

然后我们舍身的过患。舍身、受身，我们舍下来的身、骨聚，不要说骨聚，烧成功的灰超过须弥山，唉！不晓得受了多少。那就是，想想我们实在是，弄了这么多次，结果呢！继续还在那个地方，继续还在那个地方，还不停止。所以前面说我们真的，我们的心真像金刚，什么东西都动不了，佛告诉这么厉害的，我们居然在那个地方动都不动。唉！我们要反过来，最好的我们哪，后面告诉我们的：我们软得像豆腐，软得像棉絮；那就差不多了。一点小小的事情，哦！心动。所以这个经上面告诉我们，真正好的良马见鞭影—那个好的马看见那个鞭的影子就奔了，我们也应该这样，一点点的小小的马上就策励，那这一生就有希望。
